    Creamy, light, citrusy, easy – what more could you ask for? This citrus mango sauce is really versatile. It works as both a dressing or a sauce and last five days in the fridge, so make it ahead to jazz up a simple lunch or dinner. See notes on how to use it at the end of this post.

    Creamy Citrus Mango Sauce

    I published this recipe a recently as part of the lobster salad post but it’s too good not to highlight on its own. It's too good to let it get lost in the archives.

    Creamy Citrus Mango Sauce Ingredients

    For your shopping list:

    • Avocado oil or other light neutral oil
    • Mango cubes (fresh or frozen)
    • Pink grapefruit juice
    • Lemon juice
    • Orange juice
    • Lime juice
    • Shallot
    • Honey
    • Salt and white pepper (or black)

    Dressing or Sauce?

    The inspiration for this recipe came from a lobster salad we enjoyed at the Montage resort in Laguna Beach. The restaurant was nice enough to tell me what was in it so I took notes and came up with my own recipe.

    While I used it for the lobster salad recipe (photo above), I quickly discovered that it works great over grilled fish, shrimp, boneless, and skinless chicken breasts. I even used it for my grilled scallops wrapped in Prosciutto recipe.

    It's so easy to make. Just dump everything into the blender and puree! Creamy citrus mango sauce lasts for five days in the fridge so extra does not go to waste.

    Creamy and light, this dressing or sauce can be used with salad as a dressing to over grilled fish, chicken breast, scallops, or shrimp. It’s great over an open face avocado and tomato sandwich too. Puree in a blender and taste, then adjust to your preference.
